Hey Everyone! This girl has successfully survived her first week of college. It was not without gallons of coffee, a million phone calls home, a multitude of prayers and amazing support from a few new friends. So far I have enjoyed college life so far, there is a sense of "Oh my goodness I am grown up independent person!" Followed by "What do you mean I have to do all this myself?"

However, I must say I like doing my little rituals like getting the coffee ready before I go to bed and making everything organized for the next day. I enjoy tidying my little corner of the world and making food for myself. Drinking tea and having a bit of chocolate in the afternoons when I get done with class. Habits I have picked up from my parents and I love to think that I am a miniature version of the wonderful people they are.
I moved to Central Washington University on Friday. Then the weekend was spent with a variety of welcome events to get me acquainted with campus and what living at college will be like. There was a volleyball game, paint rav, lip sync battle

and a dodgeball tournament which we won. Tuesday, was convocation where we were officially welcomed by Seniors and faculty to CWU, we also received our convocation coin and wildcat traditions keeper booklet in which we can keep all of our memories.
By Wednesday it was time to start classes. I start my day at eight am. I have Intro to Theatre 107, I am not entirely sure what we will be covering in this class, but I am excited about it. Then I have English 101 and I love my professor for this class. He is funny, energetic in a calm fashion and seems to deeply care about his students. My last class that day is Business Computers a class I believe will be challenging, but also excited to rise to the challenge.
A few of my other classes are Theory of Play Production where we analyze plays and think about how we would go about producing them. Obviously, the theatre classes are my favorites. I also have University 101 where I get help on how to navigate the academic world.

With this, I am at fifteen credits, but if I get into set crew for the fall productions I will be at eighteen. However, I am extremely eager to get involved with the department.

One fun event I attended this past week, was Bite in the Burg. Where lots of local shops and vendors promote themselves to the college students and we got a lot of free food! Always a wonderful day. The weather has been bright and sunny, spots of rain, but it always clears up for at least part of the day.
Another aspect of college life I have enjoyed is random texts you send and receive from friends, like pizza now! Or you wanna go do this? I hardly ever eat by myself and we are often going to events together which makes the experience that much more enjoyable.
One program that I have fallen into at college is the AUAP program. Central partners with a University in Tokyo bringing in Japenese exchange students. I ended up with an AUAP roommate. She is the sweetest girl ever. We are working on communicating with each other, but it has been fun. We went and got coffee the other night and we got to know each other better. The university does a wonderful job of hosting events for us to explore their culture and in return, they get to learn about ours. It has been a fun program to be apart of and I look forward to furthering my experiences with them.
College has been fantastic, but I do miss home and I look forward to my family visiting next week!
